Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 to 6 anchovy fillets, with some of their oil
One 28-ounce can tomatoes, crushed or chopped and drained
1 pound linguine or other long pasta

Steps:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Put the olive oil in a deep skillet and turn the heat to medium. A minute later, add the garlic and the anchovies. When the garlic sizzles and the anchovies break up, add the tomatoes.
Turn the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes saucy, about 15 minutes.
Cook the pasta until it is tender but firm. Season the sauce to taste and serve over the linguine.
